The Gables & Longbowe

Just a stones throw from Kilkenny City are two very special self catering holiday homes, one of them being an eco-friendly holiday home. Overlooking the secluded Nore valley on the 200 acre Archersgrove Estate, a mile from Kilkenny Castle but with space for children to roam safely and to enjoy the peace of the farm.

Old World and the New World

The Gables Self Catering Accommodation, a former 18th Century fishing lodge located adjacent to Kilkenny City, stands on the original site of the old Archersgrove House. Once inside you will feel an immediate sense of "warmth, security, and homeliness" - old world charm in a peaceful country setting.

Eco Holiday Home

Longbowe, the second of our holiday homes is a contemporary eco-friendly holiday home, sleeping 6 on a self catering basis. With magnificent views over the Nore Valley and provides a unique opportunity to experience sustainable living at its most luxurious.

Whichever experience you choose, you can be sure of a warm welcome and the freedom to explore and enjoy the Archersgrove Estate. Our self catering holiday homes are a perfect base to explore Kilkenny and Ireland's sunny South East.
